Mark Lavon "Levon" Helm (born May 26, 1940), is an American rock multi-instrumentalist and actor who achieved fame as the drummer and frequent lead and backing vocalist for The Band. Helm is known for his deeply soulful, country-accented voice, and creative drumming style highlighted on many of The Band's recordings, such as "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek", "Ophelia" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". His 2007 comeback album Dirt Farmer earned the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album in February 2008, and in November of that year, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him #91 in the list of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.[1] In 2010, Electric Dirt, his 2009 follow-up to Dirt Farmer, won the first ever Grammy Award for Best Americana Album, an inaugural category in 2010.

Levon" is a song written and recorded by Elton John with lyrics[1] written by Bernie Taupin. It is from John's fourth album Madman Across the Water and was recorded on February 27, 1971.[2] The song reached #24 on the Billboard Hot 100.

HistoryBernie Taupin, who wrote the lyrics for "Levon," was inspired by The Band's co-founder, drummer, and singer Levon Helm to name the title character after him. The Band was apparently Elton John's and Bernie Taupin's favourite group in those days. The "Alvin Tostig" mentioned in the song (Levon's father) is, according to Taupin, merely fictional.[3]

Elton John and his Civil Partner, David Furnish, named their son "Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John". He was born on Christmas Day 2010. [4]

Notable covers and performances"Levon" has since been covered by several artists, including Taylor Hicks, Jon Bon Jovi (who covered the song on the tribute album Two Rooms and claims that "Levon" is his favourite song of all time and that he looks up to Elton John as his idol)[5] and Billy Klippert.[6]

    珂拉琪Collage於2021/03/08發表的台語歌曲〈蓮花空行身染愛〉直接在間奏裡嵌入了〈這該死的拘執佮愛〉的一段旋律與歌詞,於是新舊歌曲之間的關聯引起注意。我認為既然要考慮這個問題,乾脆也把珂拉琪成軍之作 :改編版的〈合掌〉也納入討論…

    立輝說:「鈺玲,我要回美國了,星期六凌晨的飛機...」 鈺玲算了算說:「剩兩天了...」 立輝抱著她:「我捨不得妳... 這樣我想妳的時候,不能在妳身邊...」 鈺玲嘆了口氣:「為什麼我好不容易能跟喜歡的人交往,你就要離開了...」 立輝看著她,溫柔地說:「我沒有要離開妳,只是距離會遠一點..」

    此刻,立輝看著鈺玲就在眼前,毫無防備地向他敞開自己,在他的愛撫下顫抖,喘息... 當鈺玲抱著他說:「立輝...愛我...抱緊我…」 立輝回應她:「我愛妳!我怎麼能不愛妳?我要給妳我滿滿的愛...」
